Wyoming Council of Catholic Women Annual Convention

SAVE THE DATES:  Wyoming Council of Catholic Women will hold their annual convention Thursday through Saturday, September 9, 10 & 11, 2021.  The convention will be held at Little America, Cheyenne, Wyoming!  In Pursuit of Healing and Holiness through Jesus and Mary is the theme.  The Convention has been extended to include a one-day Healing Retreat and more time in prayer and fellowship.  We need to know by June 20th, 2021 how many individuals plan to attend.  Little America must have a firm idea of how many will attend so they can plan for space requirements. If you plan to attend, we respectfully request your response by contacting Rosemary Barrett 307-640-4311 or Jan McGuire 307-631-3507. 

With God’s grace we pray for a spiritual, healing, and meaningful retreat and convention.
